Quick Introduction-newbie am I

Hey fellas, I have been itchin' to get in on some of the interesting conversations, so I guess I better introduce myself, so as not to get myself in newbie trouble.

Name is Phil. I live in Northern Lower Michigan, near Traverse City. Beautiful....but cold. I am 31 and have been into cars since I started tearing apart and modifying my toys. I am not from a hot rodding family, but I must have the recessive gene for internal cumbustion curiosity and all things related. My current car is a 65 Buick Special 4 dr. deluxe. I rescued it from some unappreciative older folks. It's your typical low mileage, low rust auto, but I will make a bitchin', low, primered cruiser out of it. I decided to be self-employed, so projects are on the back burner until I figure out how to compensate myself AND Uncle Sam....

Talk at ya later

Welcome to the HAMB from one johnny to another

Welcome to the HAMB.
My Mom had a 65 Special deluxe she bought new, it was a fun car but not popular when I was commin' up. She traded it for a '48...Well this aint about me.
Has it got the 6 or the real mill?
I guess the big guy hence the handle.

 

Beulah, Michigan??? I didn't realize that there were any hot rodders up there!

Took several family vacations near there on Big Platte Lake as a kid. Stayed at the Rustic Resort cottages and got to know the family that owned them quite well. Three kids...Kelly, Clayton and Brianda...don't know WHY I can still remember their names and faces so well?!? That was late 70s/early 80s...entertainment was seeing Smokey And The Bandit at your local drive-in!

Anyhoo...welcome to the HAMB...being from Up North doesn't exclude you from being GAY, though...that stigma covers ALL of Michigan!!!

 

Welcome about from a fellow Buick owner. Mine's a '59 wagon that's been going nowhere since last spring.

As long as you're thick skinned you'll love this place. There's a lot of knowledge around here so bring on your questions.
